The staff was indeed very helpful. The food was AMAZING!!! I had a really super clean room and the shower was super clean, too. I liked that the location was so central.
The Wi-Fi did not work at all . I found the drinks prices outrageous. The bar was unusually noisy during the evening. It disrupted my rest.

romantic getaway

high standardwarm welcomecomfortable bedsrestful night
The room was recently renovated to a high standard. It was comfortable. my family and i appreciated the staff's warm welcome upon arrival. They explained our meal options. the beds proved comfortable ensuring a restful night. the option to order breakfast was worth it as it offered a good start to the day.
there wasn't a window in the room, only the fire escape, and it was very hot upon arrival.

i stayed in a classic double room that was very spacious! the smart tv added a modern touch, i appreciated. the bedding felt luxurious, the quality linen. the super clean bathroom included fluffy towels!
some tables were not wiped properly, this gave the dining room a slightly unkempt appearance, i observed. the staff, though friendly, could improve on this detail. this small issue affected the overall impression a little
